German, tires" to get them not one of them would go to work for "a mere $2 a day." J took the pain, to examine several or the time book, to see how many Italian and other for something like SO miles of county road. was put before the people for ap proval, the approval carrying with It a bond Issue of tt.130.000. those who favored the Improvement plan, were rather Insistent that money expended for labor, the major portion of the coat, would go a. far as possible to citizen, of Multnomsn County, and that men witn jamllle. would receive pref' tf-nct in ine work. ii.r.y now go so fsr a. to say that tnl. argument wa. mainly Instrumental In carrying the bond issue. Whether this Is true or not. It la certain th.t scarcely had the contractors started ine work before the stories were afloat th.t foreigners were being hired, aod uoi me natives entitled to the Jobs. I w sent out over the road on Friday last and .aw a large majority f the 10 men now working on the various parts of the road, and at ne rock-cruhlng and other plants, as well as at tne various camps. Dally Payroll I. Tr. contractor, asked The Orero- Bi.n and other rortland newspapers each to Bd a representative out rer the works and actually see the em ploy, and also to look over the time sheets and do snythtng els necessary u aeiermine intelligently and hone-t y now much truth there is in the rumor a. to a discrimination agaln.t native laoor. I take it th.t the people have a rlrht to know whether these contractor, a'e or are not living up to the letter and pint of their promises. It I. their pi. in duty to rcrtpioy. so far a. possi ble, native men with families. If they ar in any way oooging this and dis criminating in favor of the "floaters" tneo they should not only bo censured. rut made, and at once, to comply with their implied contract. There were 10 men emploved on the various contract. Friday. The wage. i or ine unskilled men Is II a day. For skilled workmen. My 20 per cent et ine wnoie. tne wage. :un up to II, na in u:ne casea Dore th.t. So aoout ;.go a jay is being paid out for wages, some $1009 of this for what we call unskilled labor. Thl. rate Per haps ha. already continued for IS days and will continue for .ay 100 days mora. So there 1. an item of well over half a million dollars to be paid out. and our own people ought to have artuaur must have most of it The Warren companies that are do. Ing. the most of this work are large corporations. They are now working on con trans in some or 10 various portions of the Northwest. All the work I. done on the simple principle met ine oniy way to make the best pavement. Having long since deter mined what the best Is. is to make it alway. precisely the same which means doing everything from the time the roadbed is selected until the last lini.nmg touch of fine sand I. put upon compieiea pavement exactly th same, wnetner the work Is done in ew rork. Chicago or Portland. killed: Mrs la Every Braara. So in every branch of the work there must be skilled mm. Any person can see that. It 1. equally a. plain that to keep up the efficiency of their plants they must keep their organization In tact from month to month and year to year. Wht I have been driving at In that argument is to show that the Warrens Dad on their payroll long before they took thl. Job. long before they bid on it. 200 or .more reliable paving men. .killed men In variou. branches of the work. These men have a. near steady employment as can be given them, and receive gooa, waves Derause they are an important part of the great War ren paving machine. And they will continue to be. Among these men there are quite a number. Including some of the beat of them, who were not born In this coun try. And when the bowl is made about "foreign labor. I suppose the critics mean foreign born. If It I. meant that a foreigner I. one who I. not naturalized, and that must be the principle to work on. why that I. a trifle different and not any of the men composing the regular War ran paving machine is a foreigner. By the way. a good many of the best paver. In the country are negroes. One wa. pointed out to me Friday a. be ing th most skillful man on the Job In his particular branch of the work I suppose negroes will not come under the ban? I aaklllea Meo t aeo at First. When the Warrens began enlarglns their plane a. they began thl. work, they needed a good many men. un skilled mostly. The wages offered were - a day. eight hour, to the day. They went to an employment agency and said: "Wo want you to furnish the major portion of our men: we want them all to be natives and as nearly as possible men of families." That statement will be borne out by the employment agent who has listed the men. Tne foremen also employed a eign names I could find. Well, the most from any one country were from Ireland. -Is thst a foreign" country? But about all of these were citizens. nd most of them taxpayers, and all. It wa. .aid. men with families. The majority of all the name, on the vari ous rolls were of Anglo-Saxon origin, or I am much mistaken. Homer Are Declared Xeasease. In conclusion I wish to say that the reporta being circulated that the War ren, are not living up to their Implied contract 1. all nonsense. Why should they discriminate? They have every reason to hire native men of family as laborers, not a single reason to take foreigners or single men instead. Another thing. It is usually the aim of the agitators, where other reasons are lacking, to say that the men on such work are not properly fed. We had dinner Friday at one of the camp. and ate with the men. bat is more, we were not expected. I never tasted better roast beef In my life. The men told me the meats always were good, and that everything else was on a par. And yet a couple of "natlvea" had quit the morning be fore, after working three days, owing. as they Mid, to the "poor grub." They simply hsd worked until they had a few dollars as a stake and made an excuse to quit, I wonder now tne back-door handouts will taste after such meals a. they have been getting? We visited all the camp, on the Sandy. Section IJne. Base Una, Powell Valley and Columbia River roads. e found the crews on the Jump every where, and about one and one-half mllea of pavement a day being laid. The contractors My that they will have the Job completed ahead of con tract time, which is Deoember l. Australians Will Play at Oaks Park Saturday.

Expenses Supplied . by (iovernnient for Study of Conditions In United States but Entertainments Swell Receipts. Thirty-five Australisn students, who sre touring the Pacific Coast of Amer lea. will be in Portland this week and give an entertainment at The Oak. Saturday, . They are returning from California, where they have been via iting the Exposition and other cities and points of interest in the state. With the idea of broadening the minds of the young men the govern ment of Au.trslia .elected these stu dents for their scholastic, dramatic, muslcsl and athletic ability and for their character. Their chief duty while In America is to observe the manners. methods and .11 thing, relative to com merce. trade and education. While in California they spoke a every high school between San Fran cisco and Los Angeles. in addition to their other accom plishments they provide a band and a glee club, and although their expenses are paid by the Australian government. they add to their finances st almost every place they visit by means of dramatic entertainments and concerts. v line Humphries, the youngest mem ber of the party. Is the "girl," and is seen in such a role at almost every entertainment. In the party Is the well-known Aus tralian boy tenor, Stanley Saunders, who sings a number of typical West Auatralian songs. John Shacklock, the manager of the troupe, when speaking of their trip said: "We have covered 10,000 miles, and I have marveled par ticularly at the American schools. The opportunities offered students in the United States are so much better than we have in Australia. Coming in con tact with American people and ideas is going to help our boys wonderfully." From here they will go to Vancouver, B. C. Ben Selfr Under Arrest.

Stotesbury, the eminent Philadelphia banker and railroad executive, who. with Mrs. Stotesbury. visited Portland yesterday. . , Mr. Stotesbury holds more high of fices in big financial transportation and industrial corporations Drobablv than any single individual in the coun try, yet he seems to have forgotten all about hib responsibilities and is traveling about with the keen delight of a schoolboy in seeing new sights and in meeting new. people. Mr. and Mrs. Stotesbury have trav eled to Europe frequently, and have been in other parts, of the world, too, yet no tourists who' ever visited Port land have been more interested in see ing what there is to see and learning what there is to learn about the coun try than they; . . ' Badness Forgottesi Six Weeks. "We havo been away from home for six weeks." confided Mr. Stotesbury re flectively yesterday afternoon, "and I haven't turned my hand to business once in all that time. "AH that I know about the war. about business and about politics is what I nave seen in the papers." Mr. Stotesbury made the pleasing ob servation, however, that his informs. tlon from his Eastern associates is that railroad traffic has improved in a sub' stantial degree within the last few months. This is due largely, he says, to war orders. Eastern factories that can adjust themselves to the require ments of the belligerent powers have all the business they can handle, he says. The railroads naturally feel the oenenciai effects of this business, he points out. ' He admitted that he is interested In this situation from the railroads' stand point, and it is natural that he should be, for he holds the following railroad positions: Chairman of the executive committee or tne Philadelphia & Readina- railwav: u. rcci or oi tne Lenigh Valley railway, director of the Jersey Central Railway. director of the Schuylkill & Lehiarh Valley railway, director of the Interna tional railway, and stockholder var. lous other transportation companies. Promlneare Worn as Banker. But It is as a banker that Mr. Stotes bury has come into most 'nrominonr largely on account.of his close associa tion with' the late J. P. Morgan. He is tne senior director of Drexel & Co., which is the Philadelphia house of J. f. .Morgan &- Co. He entered the em. ploy of that concern as a clerk at the age of 17. He also Is a director In P. Morgan & Co., of New York, Mor gan, urentell & Co., of London, and of the Morgan banking house in Paris. -No, I m not so active in the banklnz? Business as i used to be, he remarked nonchalantly. So outside those few trifling connections enumerated, he has retired from other bank directorates. He retains his directorate in the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and he brought to Portland the Information that, the big Baldwin plant in Phila delphia Is turning out large numbers of locomotives and other engines for ne trench government snd for the Russian government to be used In transporting military supplies. Aiew Compear to Make Musltlona. A new corporation, formed among some of his business associates, he says. has leased grounds from the Baldwin company for the purpose of erecting a Plant devoted to the manufacture of shrapnel and other munitions for the European belligerents. The firm of J. Morgan Company has secured for this new company an order for 12.500.- 000 in war supplies, he reports, with an understanding that other heavy orders are to be forthcoming as soon as this one is filled. But, personally." he Insisted. "I am not taking any Interest right now in the war or in business." He reiterated that he Is on the Coast for pleasure and Mrs. Stotesbury reit- rated that they are having pleasure.! Mrs. Stotesbury, it is apparent, is de-i termined to learn something of the his tory and characteristics of the country mat they visit. They called on A. D, narnon, assistant general passenarer gent lor the northern Pacific, vester. ay afternoon, and Mrs. Stotesbury plied Mr. Charlton with questions regarding the early happenings In this part or tne country until the railroad man had to stop sometimes and scratch his head before he was able to answer. Karllcr Visit Recalled. She recalled an earlier visit to Taco ma, 26 years ago it was, when they were clearing stumps from the lot right next door to her hotel, and float ing logs up to a big mill only a few blocks sway. She was enthusiastic over the big trees and over the natural beauty of the Coast. "But what impresses me more than anything is the hospitality of the 'peo ple," observed Mr. Stotesbury. "Wliex ever I go. I seem to be in the company of friends. I like this Western spirit- indeed i do. The Stotesburys visited the Califor nia fairs. They shipped their car to ban Diego and motored through South ern California. The roads in that state are, in most places. Just as good as those in the Eastern states. ' Although he is a resident of Phila delphia, Mr. Stotesbury has Just been elected president of the New York Horse Show to succeed Alfred Vander bllt, who was lost .with the Lusitania. He is one of the most successful horse breeder, in the East and has taken blue ribbons at all the big shows in this country and In London. "Of course.- the automobile is here to stay." he commented, "and we would hardly be able to get along without it: but I hope the American people never will give up their love of fine horses." mm tf&k& GENERAL PLAN OUTLINED EDWARD T.

( Playground Festival Draws. More than 100 mothers attended the Playground festival -at Laurelhurst park playgrounds Wednesday after noon, when 275. children turned out for the programme. Miss Jessie Millard, who is in charge of the children's de partment of the Central Library, told a forestry story to the children that was much enjoyed. Miss Beatrice Doty, Laurelhurst director, and Miss Dora Clapper were in charge. Playground Supervisor Thompson made a short ad dress In which he said Portland ranks with the first cities of the country in playground development.

Weakened for Disease. The straight-packed dining-room chair, the theater seat, the school desk, the upholstered pew in the churches all are insidious foes of the health and happiness of civilized people. Even the well-beloved Morris chair. with its springy seat and its smother of wonderful upholstery enfolds you in Its arms only to hasten your prog ress toward the cemetery. This, at least, was the startling declaration before the American Os teopathic Association Friday by Dr. S. W. Longan, of Kansas City, Mo., based upon laboratory and prac tical professional research extending through a number of years. 'In the first place the ordinary chair seat forces one to sit, if he sits erect, in such a way that the full pressure of his weight comes, upon the proc esses of the hip bones," he says. "No body can stand that pressure more than a few minutes, and the invariable move, for comfort, is to slide forward in the seat. "This brings a strain upon the ab dominal muscles that hold the spine erect. So these fatigued muscles quickly relax. The spine gives back and one crumples forward so that his chest is contracted and the contents of the abdominal section crowded. 'The result of this condition is that, accord'ng to laboratory tests I have made, one loses 33 '4 per cent of the normal air supply he should have at each inhalation, because of the cramped-over position of the lungs. The result of all of this is tuberculo sis, functional heart trouble, appendi citis, stomach trouble and a long chain of other ills. "The chair of the future will not have a concave seat, but a convex seat, with the cushion breaking sharply down at the back to provide a com fortable resting place for the proc esses of the hip bones. The back will be curved so that it will cushion under the small of the back, instead of under the shoulders. Dr. Longan is a son of Mrs. Emma Laird Longan, of Kansas City, who is a pupil of Roberts and one of the most prominent parliamentarians in the United States.' Mrs. Longan is at tending the convention with her son. HOOD RIVER GIRL BECOMES URIDE AT HOME CERE3IONY. Mrs. Harry 1H. Wood, Who Wa. Mis. Beatrice Boyce, of Hood River. ' HOOD RIVER. Or, Aug. 7.

Hood River, after August 15. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wood are former students of the Hood River High School. EMPRESS CHANGE SUNDAY New Shows to Open Day Earlier, Beginning Tills Afternoon. Portland has forged a day ahead In vaudeville time. Beginning today. shows will change at the Empress The ater every Sunday afternoon instead of Monday. Sunday opening has been ordered for Portland by John W. Con s:dine. of the Sullivan & Considine circuit, owing to the early arrival of vaudeville artists in Seattle after play ing in Butte. Mont, vaudeville per formers welcome the change in Port land, as it permits them to depart for the south Saturday night and gives them more time to visit the Exposition in San Francisco. The show opening at the Empress this afternoon will be new in entirety with the exception of Rev. Frank W. Gorman, "the singing parson," who will complete his week's vaudeville engage ment here tonight. Dr. Gorman will sing only sacred songs at the four shows today, his contract including that stipulation for the Sunday matinee and the three night performances. In the Empress shows today Dr. Gorman will follow Frank Kendall, Portland's challenger for the heavyweight cham plonshlp. "Slim" Williams, stage man ager at the Empress, says his records do not show, another instance where a clergyman and a pugilist were fea tured in the same vaudeville show Dr. Gorman bows his head in silent prayer before his every appearance on the stage. In the shows today be will be preceded by the Flying La Marrs in a trapeze act. The clergyman says he will add a while he waits turn on the stage. President Declines to Discuss Rea sons for Merging L'nlon Pacific and First National Life Organizations Into One. The Union Pacific Insurance Com pany, of Portland, will be merged into the First National Life Insurance Com pany, of Tacoma. and the headquarters of the Tacoma company will be brought to this city in the near future, if ne gotiations - under way are carried through, as it is believed they will by representatives of both companies. A meeting of the stockholders of the Union Pacific Company will be held next.Wednesday in Portland to consider the complete details of the plan and to finally thresh the matter out with the stockholders of the Tacoma com pany. Although President F. H. Wiencken, of the Union Pacific Insurance Com pany, declined to discuss the reasons for the move or the details of the plan, it is understood that the change is contemplated to strengthen the com pany, which was having considerable difficulty operating alone. Company Started in 1910. The Union Pacific Company was started here in 1910 wlth Mark T. Kady president. Considerable difficulty and litigation was gone through with the state officials before the company ob tained a license, about two years ago. President F. H. Wiencken became presi dent about a year ago and' materially modified the conduct of the company's affairs and brought it to a more sub stantial basis than it had been be fore, it is said. State Insurance Commissioner Wells outlined the general plan and condi tions connected with the impending change in a statement yesterday, which follows: A plan is proposed that this company re insure its business in the First National Life of Tacoma snd that the latter company amend Its charter so as to take over the stock of the Union Pacific Life Insuranca Company and also use the name of the Union Pacific Life Insurance Company and drop the name of the First National. It Is also planned to have one of its principal offices la Portland. Stock Is Offered at Far. It appears that the stockholders of the Union Pacific- Life Insurance Company are offered 62.500 shares of the capital stock In the parent company at the par value of $1 a share. From the last annual statement filed with the insurance Commissioner- It is seen that the Union Pacific Life Insurance Company had 120 policies in force, amounting to J23S. 000. and this liability will be promptly re insured by this transaction. The annual statement also shows their income in 1B14 to have been J17.0S9 and the disharsements as J24.141: admitted as sets, f 106,549; net surplus, 12733. Stockholders to Take Action. The statement filed by the First National at the close of last year shows it has a capital stock of ? 200,000 and Its Income In 1ftl4 as $2S.9J7. disbursements as J93.00O, admitted assets $401,151 and Its net surplus $36,304.
